Environmental science is the study of the impact on the environment due to the natural and artificial phenomena and interactions of the planet's physical components. It is an interdisciplinary research field that focuses on ecology, geology, meteorology, biology, chemistry, engineering and physics to study environmental issues and environmental impacts. Environmental science is a discipline with both theoretical and practical aspects. A key aspect for students who enter this area is laboratory research, and they learn how to analyze and interpret various samples. This sector has also influenced policymakers around the world in shaping its environmental policies.
